“Many small people who in many small places do many small things can alter the face of the world.” - African proverb from the Xhosa (Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho)

Africa has long been associated with negative news, sometimes being portrayed as the “hopeless continent”(1). Today however, I deeply believe that conditions are met for the continent to rise provided that we, Africans, are committed to propel our countries forward. Actually, it is an extraordinary time to be African: after decades of missed opportunities, Africa is, at last, ripe for a development take off.
